About Cedar Falls
Though often overshadowed by its larger neighbor, Waterloo, time and again national publications have named Cedar Falls, Iowa a "best small place to live." Cedar Falls' 36,500 residents are committed to preserving the character of their town. To that end, the quaint business district has been completely revitalized, winning Cedar Falls an award from the National Trust for Historic Preservation. Five of the town's most historically important buildings are owned and operated as museums by the Cedar Falls Historical Society. But Cedar Falls doesn't just look back into the past. The presence of the University of Northern Iowa draws artists and intellectuals from around the state and the world. Frequent concerts, art exhibitions and lectures are a regular part of life for Cedar Fallsians. But development of the mind AND the body is important to the folks in Cedar Falls, and the town maintains 30 miles of nature trails that residents and visitors can use for biking, hiking and cross-country skiing. An additional 60+ miles of trails are shared with nearby Waterloo. It's no wonder, then, that Cedar Falls is nicknamed "Gateway to the Trails."
